Artist, American, 1899 - 1977

The image consists of various rough shapes and lines arranged horizontally across the canvas. The abstract composition could be perceived as a row of buildings or monuments under a muted sky. The blocky and irregular shapes in dark shades contrast against a lighter background, creating a weathered texture. The overall impression is of incomplete outlines of structures.
